Originally designed as a more intellectual approach to the sci-fi genre than anything that had come before it, Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: The Original Series ran for a short but impressive three seasons on NBC throughout the late 1960s.
Starring an ensemble that included the likes of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols and George Takei, Star Trek enjoyed middling success upon its initial debut to NBC, notably failing to draw strong ratings from the network's core viewership.
In the years that followed, Star Trek slowly took a more enthusiastic contingent of fans thanks to its broadcast syndication, eventually becoming a cult success and a major staple of science fiction from the 1970s onward.
Along with the dozens of books, video games, toys and other media tied to the franchise, Star Trek: The Original Series commonly ranks as one of the most popular and important TV shows to ever premiere. For example, Empire hailed the series as one of the greatest shows of all time, writing, "Sci-fi on the small screen wouldn’t be what it is now had Roddenberry not boldly gone there first all those years ago."
